Self-reflection / Evaluation
I began the class off strong I was confident in what I was doing and the class was
attentive and engaged with the topic. There were a few technical difficulties that
put me off topic a bit but I fell the table went well as it was a reflection of how
much the students had taken note of or remembered from my presentation. Most
students completed this task with little aid from me or other resources (only
when it came to giving specific examples).
I need to improve on my delivery of some content but I know that will come with
practice. I also need to work on asking the right type of questions to gauge

student response through this I need to know exactly what I need and want my
students to get out of the lesson.
